Redskins' Jay Gruden on DL Anthony Lanier: 'He has a chance to be really good'

Washington Redskins second-year defensive end Anthony Lanier is certainly turning heads. While speaking with the media this week from the NFL owners meetings in Arizona, Redskins coach Jay Gruden expressed his excitement for the former Alabama A&M star.

“He has a chance to be really good,” Gruden said. “Every day I’d watch the one on ones and he was the guy who was one of the most difficult players to block.”
